If you are looking to increase your income, in this article I explain in 4 steps to achieve it by doing what you like.
Have you ever stopped to think about what activities make you most happy?
Have you thought about what skills you execute easily and that generate a feeling of enjoyment?
Well now is the time! This is the moment when everything can really begin to change in your life.
We have been raised in a paradigm of obligations, of "having to", of mandates, prejudices and negative cultural discourses.
Although this is the world that surrounds us and comes with its own rules of the game (which we must play), it is also true that we remain hypnotized and far from our true essence.
Here is the problem!
Our potential is covered by many “scabs” that we have been adopting in our years of growth.
When we were children there were no no and obligations. At least not that they came from within us, right?
What is it that DOES exist in our world of children?
• The elections
• The Yes"
• The “What if…?”
• The "Why don't we do / try / explore / test…?"
• playing
• Doing what we liked
• Surprising us all the time
• Wanting to discover
• Enjoyment
• Flowing…
But we didn't even think about what those things meant, did we? (we did not have the linguistic formats to explain them either), which were nothing more than simply living and feeling good, connected with that powerful Source that can do everything.
As children we remained connected.
Connected and flowing with that energy and joy of being who we really were without thinking about what they were going to say about us, without thinking about what happened in the past or what would happen in the future.
As children we remained in the present. Again, we remained connected.
Little by little, this permanent connection was lost as we grew into our adult life. And there the enemies began to appear…
• The desire to have a safe job and "break" to achieve it.
• Wanting to earn more and more money at the cost of hard realities.
• Have social status, have material things and therefore belong, be someone, achieve general "Success".
• Fears of risking failure.
• Stress.
• Headaches, contractures, bronchospasms, allergies, in short… all kinds of diseases.
• Thinking about the past and living tied to what was and went.
• In worrying and living with anxiety in the future and what is lacking.
• … and more.
You realize?
Total disconnection from the source!
I do not want to elaborate further on this topic, but it was necessary for me to talk about this because I think that normally we do not bring it into the space of our public conversations.
The lack of motivation that is generated from these social ways of life and what we have attached to the road without questioning it, remains in the field of people's private conversations. And when that is repressed, it hurts and we take it as a poison drop by drop every day, taking away the energy to create a new and better future.
But here I come to whiten it!
For what?
• To bring back to the present the innocence, the discoverer spirit, the energy, the joy and the simplicity of being a child.
• So that you remember that you can do what you love and love what you do and thus be happy.
• For you to enjoy.
• So that you allow yourself to choose.
• So that you can be and remain 100% in the present.
"Be a child. It begins with the mind that knows nothing. Take that ignorance to freedom. ” - Byron Katie
How to increase your income?
• Doing first what children do.
• Remember and / or discover what you love, what you enjoy and start doing just that.
• Help more and more people doing what you love.
You don't need to "have a business" right now to increase your income by earning extra money.
You can start with what you have now, in your hands !, with what you already have inside you!
So I'm going to make it that simple. So you can see how easy it is to generate income doing what you love, here are the steps…
Step 1: Define your skills, gifts and passions.
This step is about “making room at the table”, “throwing everything you have” on top of it and detecting…
• In what things are you good and capable?
• What do you like to do?
• Enjoyed?
Take the time you need to let your mind flow with these questions. The answers do not have to come all in a single day or time to do this exercise.
You can also record yourself on the computer talking about it or meet with a friend or family member you trust a lot and share what comes out with him or her.
Put this creativity job to work for a good while
Years ago, when I was working exclusively as a computer engineer, I discovered how much I enjoyed writing schematic steps documents to achieve the goals of software development and testing (tasks that I was usually in charge of).
Another thing that I realized was that I really liked having deep conversations with my coworkers and / or team meetings because I sensed that through my word, I helped them resolve conflicts with themselves and with the group. So I started by doing the same within my work environment; Besides doing it, it greatly increased my desire to go to work.
Something else I discovered back then was how easy and enjoyable it was for me to write emails that invited action and promoted clear and effective communication. I realized many more things…
I started doing these things more and more in that realm and then moved them into my own personal independent realm.
I am telling you this so that you understand that if you are making any excuses or limits, they only exist in your mind. (Trust me, being an open, communicative, and sympathetic systems professional had little to do with a structured, technical, sometimes cold engineering environment where not much importance was given to social and communication skills).
Don't set limits!
Below you will find a list of some knowledge, talents and skills that you may have…
Determine how you are going to show and offer your idea. In other words, think of ways to "Pack it" or "Pack it."
• In what way can you offer what is so beautiful that you have to give?
• Through a workshop?
• Writing a book perhaps?
• Through a special service?
• What can you charge for it?
• What exactly is the person going to receive (step by step) in exchange for that payment?
• What specifically will your help and service consist of?
• What types of people do you want to help? How many?
• Where can you find such people?
• What is the specific problem that you are going to help solve or what possibilities are you going to help SEE these people or what are you going to help them achieve with your idea / knowledge / skill?
Using my enthusiasm, motivation, teaching, writing, and human spirit skills, I needed to first investigate how I could combine that to help many people who wanted to change their reality to aspire to a better life. That's how I started!
Of course, it wasn't perfect on the first try, but as you'll see, it got much better! It's not like that? And this is going to happen in a similar way for you too.
Step 3: Start offering it.
Start talking about what you have to give.
Use all the channels, resources and people you have available to spread the word: your family, your friends, your colleagues and ex-coworkers, your neighbors, your friends' friends, social networks, etc.
The world has to know what you are going to offer!
And I can understand that in this instance you feel knots in your stomach that make you recoil. You could think for example:
• "I'm afraid to expose myself!"
• "I am not trained or prepared enough to take this step…"
• "What if they don't like what I offer?"
• "What are you going to think of me?"
• "I am afraid of failing…"
You have to leave behind fears and excuses!
When you have something good to give and you know well that you are good at it, then what you will be doing is creating value in the world.
And you must share those valuable gifts, abilities and talents so that the people in whom your message resonates can choose to work with you and receive your help.
Don't hide anymore!
Let your light illuminate the others!
Step 4: Refine and adjust your offer more and more.
My company today has nothing to do with what it was years ago; at that time it was a "simple" idea that was starting.
You will always need to fine-tune the process, adapt and face possible changes, because just the only immutable thing is change
Have you realized that only a moving ship can change course?
If the boat is stopped, there is no possibility of making any correction.
You can change course whenever you want only if you are moving!
These steps can take as long as you decide. What's more, you can work on creating and shaping your offer, and launching it (promoting it, talking about it) next week. Wow! This is to think in terms of ACTION, right?
Only action (consciously) produces results!
Are you going to be afraid? Yes!
Are you going to be nervous? Obvious!
Are they going to ask you many questions? Clear!
Could it be that you will have to expand the explanation of your offer much more to make it better understood? Of course!
But also, doing all this you will feel that you are opening the channel of the energy of money so that you allow it to reach you.
Do not forget that money is an energy that is consistent with the value that you feel you have (the better perception and value about yourself, the more money will enter your life). This means that…
The more you work on yourself to create something that is valuable to help more people through your gifts, passions and abilities, the world will soon pay you back with more abundance, well-being and freedom.
The work should not be anything other than the marketing of your hobby (I read there)…
Is not it wonderful?
And here you have them, my beloved reader. Four steps that will help you create more income doing what you love.
I hope you apply them!
Please tell me… how has this article impacted you? Have I given you courage?
